Toot, toot -- beep, beep! The '70s are back when the all-stars are challenged to create show-stopping, disco party wear inspired by Nine West shoes. To sweeten the deal, the winner’s design will be featured in a Nine West fall ad campaign. Cue the mirror ball!

In the Workroom

Joanna Coles delivered some of the best one-liners this week, including “I think of the '70s as the decade that taste forgot.” Hilarious! Can you imagine Joanna getting her boogie on at the disco?!

I actually thought Casanova’s design addressed the challenge better than Uli and Ivy’s looks, but I can understand why Nine West would want to feature Uli’s dress in their campaign. Congrats to Uli! Looking forward to seeing the ad.

Wendy bowed out gracefully and I respect her for that. Good luck to her! Andrae really dodged another bullet this week. If he tries to design another organza coat, I think he’ll be in trouble.

What did you think about this week’s disco designs? Sound off in the comments below!
